ABOUT US EFCO Corporation is a leading, national manufacturer of quality and innovative windows, curtain walls, storefront and entrances. EFCO's journey began 60 years ago with a two-man operation in a basement of a St. Louis laundry. Incorporated in 1953, the company began its expansion with light manufacturing capabilities including louver type jalousie windows, known as the Holiday line and single-panel storm sash. New aluminum products required a bigger manufacturing facility, so EFCO Corporation moved to a 5,000-square-foot building on Grant Road in St. Louis County in In 1958, the company established a facility in Monett, Missouri with 25 employees. From there, EFCO has continued to grow by employing over 1,500 people at their corporate headquarters and four service centers nationwide. In 2007, Pella Corporation acquired EFCO, making it a part of the Pella family where they continue to be a leading specified supplier in the heavy commercial and architectural fenestration markets.

5 Stewardship and Sustainability EFCO, your sustainable choice... EFCO's aluminum billet supplier is located within one mile of our manufacturing facility. When compared to other manufacturers, this eliminates thousands of miles of shipping, greatly reducing our carbon footprint by consuming less fossil fuels and producing fewer harmful emissions. All aluminum extruded by EFCO includes pre and post consumer recycled content. We operate an award winning waste water treatment facility. Used to pre-treat all wastewater prior to its release into our city's waste water systems, EFCO's quality treatment processes have received the MWEA Gold and MWEA Gold/Platinum Awards for compliance. EFCO utilizes the latest in Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer technology to reduce the VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) emissions from the paint line by 97.75%. We are highly self sufficient. We extrude over 95% of the extrusions needed to fabricate our products. We finish our framing materials and perform our own glass tempering. We also fabricate the majority of insulating glass units used in our products on site. EFCO recycles glass cullet and aluminum scrap back through our vendors. We also employ recycling companies and waste management services to divert our crating, packing, paper waste products and used electronics away from landfills. Keeping it local, above is aluminum billet supplied by a local vendor and extruded in our manufacturing facility. All recyclable materials are returned to local vendors for processing. High tech and sustainable. Lessening the environmental impact of products in many ways... At EFCO, our commitment goes beyond our products. In fact, it extends from the past to the present... and right into the future of the planet itself. Energy efficiency has set us apart since the 1970s, when we first introduced thermally improved framing and accessories. That same attention to energy efficiency drives our ongoing efforts of carbon-footprint reduction and lower energy costs.

9 The Peabody Hotel Memphis, Tennessee Customer: Pitman Glass Company EFCO Products: 6711 Fixed Windows When the owners of the Peabody Hotel set out to renovate their property, they looked at feedback from former guests to help them determine what deserved the most attention. One of the biggest areas of opportunity was noise control. EFCO s 6711 fixed windows were selected to replicate a hung configuration, and were glazed with insulated glass. These characteristics raised the thermal and acoustical performance of the windows providing a quieter and more comfortable environment for their guests. Photos Abstract Photography, Inc. 8
